Profile with Hibs

Paola – The Club’s Home Town

Hibernians, a Maltese football club, are based in the small town of Paola, which is located in the south-east area of the main island. The area, situated at the foot of the Grand Harbour, seems to be among the earliest to host British serviceman playing some of the first football games in the country. The oldest club known from Paola is Malta Wanderers who played a match against a team from Pembroke called St. George’s Tigne in 1894. Since then several other clubs were formed some of which took part in the national league. Two that still stand to this day are Paola Wolves who now play amateur football, and Hibs who are the most successful beyond any doubt.

Historic Paola

This hypogeum, which no visitor to Malta should miss, is an archaeologically unique site. Paolites can trace their roots back to the hardworking and religious buliders of this underground complex built more than 5000 years ago. (more…)
